ConnectED has been invited to participate in a unique partnership opportunity supported by the Gates Foundation. In this new implementation climate, where districts are taking up the challenge of ensuring that they adopt and implement High Quality Instructional Materials (HQIM) there is a need to provide companion professional learning services. ConnectED has a lot of experience supporting coherence and capacity building at the district level and we have leveraged this expertise to support the adoption and implementation of High-Quality Instructional Materials for Mathematics.

Moving forward, we have been invited to work alongside publishers of these materials to develop aligned professional learning resources and experiences. These partnerships could take many forms, we could: develop co-branded services and tools, provide our individual services with a tag-team approach, or develop organizational understandings around business development. We have already been selected by two Illustrative Mathematics materials publishers . It is early in this partnership process and there is a lot yet to be determined but the future is exciting.
